Overview

Predictability and efficiency have marked Delphine DuVert's orderly life as Castle Stewardess in the small European country of Lethersby--until she is tasked by the monarchy to hire a British researcher. Lethersby needs help solving the 100-year-old mystery of their Lost Queen, a young royal who disappeared into the night during World War I. Delphine's split-second decision to hire Jack Worthington, a doctoral student at the University of Oxford, has long-lasting consequences when he steps in to protect her from an angry colleague determined to ruin her life. The only catch? That protection looks like Jack posing as her beau. Delphine hesitantly accepts Jack's offer--and finds her heart being stripped of every predictable and efficient emotion she's ever had. Jack Worthington believes that his instinct to protect Delphine was the right one, even if it means posing as her boyfriend. But he's determined to stay focused on his research for Lethersby--and to keep his emotional distance after reeling from a broken heart. Yet as the clues to discovering the Lost Queen's story unravel and the court case determining Delphine's fate looms, both Delphine and Jack must step out in faith, choosing to trust that what God has ahead for them is more valuable than the lives they thought they wanted.

Author Information

Ann Swindell writes stories that point to Christ's presence in our day-to-day lives and the hope He brings to our hearts. She is the author of multiple books (including The Path to Peace and Still Waiting) and is the owner of Writing with Grace, where she teaches Christ-centered writing classes for women. Ann lives in West Michigan, where she enjoys adventuring with her family . . . usually with a cup of Earl Grey tea in hand. Marni Penning is a classically trained, award-winning stage and film actress who has performed in fifty-four productions of twenty-three of Shakespeare's plays to date. On the small screen, you may have caught her appearances on Guiding Light, All My Children, Law & Order: SVU, Saturday Night Live, or The Sopranos. Marni has been a voice-over artist for many years and was a disc jockey in college; she studied voice-over for animation with the legendary Pat Fraley, so her specialty is character voices and complex accents. Marni got into narration through the Library of Congress Books for the Blind program, and has appeared in over 100 large-cast recordings for Graphic Audio. Her warm, rich, inviting voice adapts equally well to cozy mysteries, sci-fi thrillers, YA fantasy, and quirky romances. She lives just outside Washington, DC, with her husband, son, dog, fish, and chickens.
